Answer 25

The lipid tails

Question 26

What is a channel protein?

Answer 26

It creates a tunnel in the cell membrane to allow larger particles to pass through

Question 27

What is a protein pump?

Answer 27

Using energy it moves particles from low concentration to high concentration

Question 28

What function does a carbohydrate serve in the cell membrane?

Answer 28

It identifies the cell

Question 29

What is endocytosis?

Answer 29

Using energy the cell membrane engulfs large particles and pulls them into the cell

Question 30

What is exocytosis?

Answer 30

Using energy the cell membrane expels or releases large particles

Question 31

What is active transport?

Answer 31

It requires energy and moves particles from low concentration to high concentration

Question 32

What is passive transport?

Answer 32

Transport that does not require energy - moves particles from high to low concentration

Question 33

What is diffusion?

Answer 33

Movement of particles from high to low concentrations

Question 34

What is facilitated diffusion?

Answer 34

Movement of particles from high to low concentration through a channel protein - passive

Question 35

What is osmosis?

Answer 35

The diffusion of water

Question 36

What is a selectively permeable membrane?

Answer 36

It allows only some particles into the cell

Question 37

What is an impermeable membrane?

Answer 37

It does not allow any particles through

Question 38

What is a hypertonic solution?

Answer 38

One where the amount of solute is higher outside of the cell. This means there is more water inside of the cell than outside

Question 39

What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

Answer 39

Water leaves the cell and the cell shrinks

Question 40

What is a hypotonic solution?

Answer 40

One where the amount of solute is lower outside of the cell. This means there is more water outside of the cell than inside

Question 41

What happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution?

Answer 41

What enters the cell and the cell swells

Question 42

What is an isotonic solution?

Answer 42

One where the amount of solute is the same inside and outside the cell. This means the water is the same too.

Question 43

What happens in an isotonic solution?

Answer 43

Water moves in equal amounts in and out of the cell. The cell stays the same size.
